[Publib] Book Selection Room

[Mary J. Soucie]

"The only rooms in our library that serve a single function are the restrooms!"

Even this statement isn't totally true, as we having changing tables in ours and often after programs they serve as a wash basin/bath. LOL

I was puzzled too!  Our 'book selection room' 
consists of whichever big comfy chair at your 
home that you try to stay awake in while reading 
book reviews at night.   After the BS people have 
finished the pile of Kirkuses, LJs, etc, they go 
to whichever computer is available to submit 
electronic book orders to B&T.    The only rooms 
in our library that serve a single function are the restrooms!
